Otherworldly Historian

@linus-smallprint

It did not bother me as much in Tress. This was because she never liked lying and she eventually got to a point where she decided not to lie anymore (right after she became captain). I recall her lying at all after that. John, on the other hand, seems proud of his ability to lie and does it without a thought.

True. I need to…[Read more]

Great review. This is pretty much what I expected. It’s interesting that you brought up the lying thing, since Tress kinda did that as well, where as her character got more mature, she was more and more willing to bend the rules of what she thought were hard lines of right and wrong.

My personal rating is probably 3 to maybe 4…[Read more]

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you, I’ve been really busy, and unfortunately am going to continue to be busy for a while. I’ll say a few quick things here though.

I should mention here that this backstory is going to be quite vague and a bit mixed up when it appears in the story. Lots of this history is lost to mythologies.…

Erm, I’m not sure, is there one that would be easier for you?

If not, I feel like doing their real names for the sake of simplicity makes the most sense, but I’d be fine with either!

@theducktator

Yeah, I feel ya😂 took me forever to narrow it down to those pairs!

And no they don’t have to be human, duckromance works for me😆

@keilah-h

Thanks! I’m looking forward to meeting yours!

@everyone

Okay! So I’ve finally decided on which charries to put in here, so without further ado…

First couple! Nazyrin

Zyrin: he is tall with pale skin, blue eyes and dark hair. He’ll probably be wearing medieval style clothing. From his chest emanates an icy blue glow called Essence. His personality is reserved and cautious but fiercely…[Read more]

@theducktator

You can introduce them however!

@koshka

Yeah! You totally can!

@theshadow

Simply think about why the character is the way they are. Are they a pessimist, simply lack humor, quick to anger, or perhaps they are solemn and ponderous? In what way are they serious, and what lead them to be that way. Are there insecurities that are being masked by a flat face? How does this character interact with others, and how…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I don’t like the idea of the bad spirit. I would like to avoid angels and demons (especially demons) in my story. This is part of the reason why I developed the crystals I wanted to avoid a demonic score of magic and I wanted to use one that felt more natural.

Fair enough🤷‍♂️

I’ve also played with the idea that other animals hel…

I accidentally said the wrong thing. I was trying to say that Jesus always did the will of the Father, showing the harmony between the Father and the Son.

Gotcha, that makes more sense.

Very well. Seeing as you have dealt with all this before and you have likely dealt with whatever my response to those arguments will be. From…

I’ve been really busy today, so I’ve been slowly updating this post in bits of free time.

I believe we were originally created, and aren’t our own universal. Thus under God’s power we can be broken down into different parts – as before Adam, there was no Adam. But God doesn’t want this. We are consistent beings, not changing into ne…

@whalekeeper

Ok, so this is a wonderful point of discussion to go to when it comes to God’s nature. What is reality itself, and what is existence. A Baptist I’ve debated has been studying Aquinas, and has given the following framework that I think you’ll agree with:

There can only exist beings that are contingent or necessary.

A contingent…[Read more]

I’ve been stalking this conversation, and I’ve found it fascinating. My dad says the reason the ancient Israelites weren’t taught about the Trinity is because of how rampant polytheism was. It had to be eradicated before they could understand Three in One and One in Three. By the time Jesus came, the Jews had a lot of proble…

Yeah, KP doesn’t do well with multiple links, sometimes it doesn’t do well with any at all. It’s kind of hit and miss in that way.

Ha ha. Yeah, this is a bigger issue. You might want to grab some coffee or something to drink for this one, it’s going to be long.

I like the confidence, but I don’t drink coffee. If you want long, w…[Read more]

@theshadow

No, I don’t think it really matters, whatever characters you want to put in!

@whalekeeper

Sorry guys; I dropped this when young adult life crept into play, and have since lost relevance and steam. I had some specific thoughts, since I wanted to clarify some things before moving forward. But I don’t even fully remember what my questions were… I may come back to this later – and reread our conversation – since I am *nods t…

@linus-smallprint

Thank you for the suggestion of the trickster, but I kind of want to keep it as a curse if I go with the Sabtah origin story, trope or not. Why? Because of the irony. Sabtah was trying to escape curses and got cursed yet again. Perhaps some of what I was thinking is that Sabtah wanted to be separated from God, and while he could…

@linus-smallprint

Hold on, let’s back up a bit. It’s great that you agree with most of what I have said, but I would like to know more about the Tritheist heresy you mentioned. Are you saying you do not believe The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are not one God but three separate Gods? Another thing I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat…
